The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.
Tax increases slow economic growth. Why would you raise taxes? We need to reform spending, the tens of trillions of unfunded liabilities can never be funded by tax increases, that can only be fixed by reducing spending.
Social economic problems do not exist everywhere that an economic event plays a role as cause or effect - since problems arise only where the significance of those factors is problematical and can be precisely determined only through the application of methods of social-economics.
For an economic recovery program to be effective, it must not only create a short-term economic boost but also generate lasting value. Home Star would accomplish that by breaking down the key barrier between homeowners and money-saving retrofits: upfront costs.

I've named a couple things after Edgar Allan Poe: the cat, and my garden upstate, where I only planted black flowers and purple flowers - and there's a raven statue.
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
A sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener with constant use.
Chiki Sarkar edited 'Mrs Funnybones,' and she is a ruthless but kind editor to work with. The only lesson I learnt during this process was to say, 'Yes, Prime Minister,' and re-write.
I go through periods, usually when I'm editing and shooting, of seeing only old films.
Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.'
I can only assume that your editorial writer tripped over the First Amendment and thought it was the office cat.
